The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 175 When I was dozing off, a pillow came (please subscribe!)

Xu Zhiyu neither approves nor opposes the opening of brothels in Fang City and remains neutral.

Of course, it is unlikely that the Xu family will open one themselves. The Xu family is a serious family. However, if there are other forces that want to open it, the Xu family will not be able to turn them away, because there are brothels in every city.

Having nothing to do and listening to music has a unique flavor. Monks do not necessarily need to meditate in seclusion every day to increase their cultivation. It is okay to relax occasionally.

"One more thing, we can also hold an underground auction, which will also be very attractive to those monks."

This was Xu Zhengji's suggestion. The other three fell silent upon hearing this.

Underground auctions have been around for a long time. I don’t know when they started to appear, but they exist in Dafang City to deal with some spiritual objects of unknown origin.

The world of immortality has never been a place full of sunshine. There is too much darkness and blood in it, and the underground auction was born in such an environment.

In underground auctions, only the price is negotiated, not the origin. As long as you can afford the spiritual stone, then the thing is yours.

This underground auction is led by the Xu family. It does not ask about the origin of the things, nor does it auction for you. It just provides a place. All the monks who participate in the auction must pay a large amount of spiritual stones. At the same time, the spiritual objects are successfully auctioned. The person will also have to hand over to the Xu family spiritual stones ranging from 10% to 30% of the auction value of the spiritual objects as a fee.

Some people also ask, isn’t this the same as a normal auction? That was quite different. The underground auctions were all about shady things, such as forbidden exercises, blood-stained magic weapons, robes, and elixirs of unknown origin, and so on.

To put it bluntly, it is a place to sell stolen goods. For example, if a robbery cultivator kills a disciple of a cultivating family or sect, in addition to spiritual stones, he also gets many other things from his storage bag, such as unique skills, standard magic weapons, and unique If you want to cash out your magical elixir, etc., then underground auctions are a good place to go.

Xu Zhiyu shook his head and expressed his disapproval, as did Xu Zhikai, who obviously did not agree with the clan uncle's proposal.

Seeing this, Xu Zhengji didn't insist, so the matter was dropped!

Xu Zhiyu doesn't support it, mainly because he is afraid of getting into trouble. The irregular holding of underground auctions will definitely bring a lot of spiritual stone income to the Xu family, but it will also take a lot of risks, in case one day someone does not know how to live or die. What should I do if the Jie Cultivator takes out the standard magical weapons and techniques of the Lingxiao Sect monks for auction?
  Not only would the monk die, but the Xu family would also get into trouble. If the Lingxiao Sect traced it, it would be unclear.

This kind of thing has really happened before. It was also in a market run by a Zifu family. It offended another Jindan sect and almost had the family destroyed.

"Fang City will be built in eight months. The ancestor invited the Zifu forces from several nearby counties to enter Fang City and open shops. What I mean is to send people to invite them in advance and tell them the specific date of the opening of the market. How do you feel about inviting people to watch the ceremony?"

Xu Zhiyu continued to solicit opinions from several other people on the next topic.

"Well, that's the right thing to do. It's impolite to wait for someone to come to your door. We should send a monk to specially invite him!"

Xu Zhengji and the other two agreed and felt that this should be done.

"My ancestor told me the names and locations of these factions before. They are Shangqinggu and Huoyun Sect in Min County, Guiqing Sect and Lihu Wang Sect in Wushan County, and Pinglingzhu Sect in Weiyang County. The Clan, Houtu Palace, as well as the Yiqi Sect and Xiaoshan Li Clan in Tiannan County, there are exactly eight factions in four counties. What I mean is that one person from each county will be invited separately, and the four of us are just right."

"Okay, I'll go to Min County!"

Xu Zhengji chose one first. This was not because he specifically chose a nearby place, but because he was going to Min County and would pass through the territory under the jurisdiction of the Wei family. He was afraid that something would happen to these descendants.

"Then I'll go to Wushan County!" This was Xu Zhikai's choice.

"I'm going to Weiyang County!" Xu Zhifeng continued.

Well, he had no choice but to go to Tiannan County, and the matter was settled.

Next, they discussed some city construction matters until the early morning. After the meeting, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Zhiyu, who was standing in his room, stretched, yawned and said to himself:
  "Managing the market is such a hard job!"

Another month has passed since then, and the construction of the city is proceeding smoothly. Under the supervision of the family's children, the casual cultivators work very honestly and diligently.

The Xu family treats them well. There is no arrears of wages and there is no danger when working here. They usually make a living by going into the outer reaches of the Hengduan Mountains to search for elixirs and hunt monsters. Comparing the two, which life is better? It's clear at a glance.

That day Xu Zhiyu was drawing magic talismans in his room when suddenly there was a knock on the door. He stopped what he was doing and opened the door. He saw that besides Xu Zhifeng, there was also a rich middle-aged man at the door.

"Zhifeng, who is this?" Xu Zhiyu was sure that he had never seen this person before. Seeing that he was led by Xu Zhifeng, he asked.

"Haha, there's no need to bother Xu Xiaoyou with introductions. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Yishan. I am the person in charge of the Taiyang Tower branch in Dahefang City. This is our first meeting. Please take care of me!"

Xu Zhifeng was shocked. At the gate of Fangshi just now, the man did not reveal his identity. What he showed was only his early stage of foundation building. He only said that he had something to meet with the people who manage Fangshi to discuss a business, but this meeting Listening to his self-introduction, no one knew that he was a senior from Zifu.

Dahefang City is very famous. It is the largest city under the jurisdiction of Baiyimen. It is located not far from Baiyimen Mountain Gate. It is also the largest city in Jincheng Prefecture.

Xu Zhiyu was not too panicked. Since he revealed his identity, it meant that there was no malicious intention, so he pulled Xu Zhifeng, who was still dazed, to meet him and said:

"I've met my senior. I'm here to welcome you. I'm unable to welcome you from afar, so please forgive me!"

"Haha, little friend, this is serious. I came here uninvited and took the liberty of disturbing you. Why should I forgive you? Is this little friend the person in charge of the market here?"

Lin Yishan asked Xu Zhiyu, but before he could answer, Xu Deming from the third floor came down the stairs and answered first:
  "It's me. Fellow Daoist Lin has come all the way. Please come upstairs to have tea and talk!!"

Lin Yishan turned around calmly, cupped his hands towards Xu Deming, and said with a smile:
  "I'm here for coming here, please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Xu!"

"Please!" Xu Deming said.

"Please!"

"Yu'er, come here too." Xu Deming said to Xu Zhiyu first, then turned around and led Lin Yishan upstairs.

Arriving on the third floor, Xu Deming and Lin Yishan took their seats as guests of honor, while Xu Zhiyu was waiting beside them, serving tea and water.

Because the two parties had never dealt with each other before, and there was nothing to talk about, Xu Deming got straight to the point:

"I wonder what you, fellow Taoist Lin, are doing here?"

Lin Yishan smiled and said:
  "Fellow Daoist Xu is quick to speak, so I won't go around in circles. I'm here to discuss cooperation with the nobles!"

Xu Deming was confused, but he still said:
  "Oh? I don't know what kind of cooperation it is. Please clarify it, fellow Taoist."

Xu Zhiyu also didn't understand that the Xu family and Taiyang Tower were completely incompatible! What kind of cooperation can there be? Could it be that after seeing that the magic weapons refined by the Xu family are good, they are planning to cooperate for a long time to acquire them and then transport them to other places for sale?

But this doesn’t require the person in charge of Taiyang Building Branch in Dahefang City to come directly, right? It seems a little too solemn. You must know that this person in front of you, even though he is only a disciple of Zifu, can be on an equal footing with Zhenren Jindan. Why do you ask? Just rely on the signboard of Taiyang Tower.

"Haha, it's a great thing for you. After our observation, we found that the noble market is uniquely blessed by nature, so we intend to open a Taiyang Tower branch in your market. I don't know what you mean. How about the next one?"

Xu Deming had just thought about various possible cooperation with Taiyang Tower, but he did not think of this, because he really did not dare to think about it. You know, Taiyang Tower's branches are usually opened in areas under the jurisdiction of the Jindan forces. In Fangshi, even the previous Taoshuifang City did not have Taiyang Tower. How could he have thought that his own Fangshi might welcome Taiyang Tower to settle in?
  Xu Deming picked up the tea bowl in front of him, drank all the spiritual tea in the tea bowl with a slurp, calmed down his mood, and then said:

"It would be great for Taiyang Tower to come to our small city. We welcome it most!"

Lin Yishan also drank all the spiritual tea in his hand, stood up and laughed:

"That's it, it's settled. I will come in person to congratulate you on the day the market opens. Fellow Taoist I think I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Xu Deming also stood up.

Xu Zhiyu quickly told the opening date, and then Lin Yishan asked the two to stay and left gracefully.

In Xu Deming's room, Xu Zhiyu also sat down, and the two of them were speechless for a long time.

"Yu'er, what do you think about this?"

"Ancestor, this is the time when I'm dozing off, and someone brought me a pillow!"
